Hello,

I try to do a mastershape and link excel data to it. (VISIO 2010)
Works fine until the Hyperlinks.

The mastershape has 8 single shapes. 4 of them have 1 hyperlink each.
This shapes are grouped. From that group I create the master shape.
The goal is to make a PDF export and have 4 hyperlinks I can click on it.
Actually I have just 1 hyperlink in my PDF. 1 Hyperlink over the entire group shape.

I add the shape to this topic and the demo excel sheet, hope someone can help me with this.

After you convert you document to PDF. For PDF file you mastershape is single object, like as "black box". And PDF don't know about some shapes into your mastershape

Hi,

The thing is, if I delete the Hyperlinks manually from the group instance.
Then it works.

The single shapes keep their links and it works.
I don't know why the instance copy the URL to the group. I never create the Hyperlinks there. I create them in the single shapes.

See attached PDF documents.

What i get now is Syncdemo01.pdf
What I want is Syncdemo02.pdf

I achieved demo02 when I delete the URL in group shape level.

Hello

Take a look on the screenshots i attached.

In Syncdemo01 the whole Shape is 1 Link (see screenshot01)
In Syncdemo02 the Shape has a couple of Hyperlinks. (see screenshot02, then you see there is free, not a Hyperlink)
In Syncdemo02 the Hyperlinks are in the single shapes (See screenshot03)
